Boris Goldstein

Boris Emmanuilovich Goldstein (25 December 1922 – 8 November 1987, known by the diminutive Busya) was a Soviet violinist whose career was greatly hindered by the political situation in the Soviet Union. As a young prodigy, he started violin studies in Odessa with the eminent pedagogue, Pyotr Stolyarsky and continued them in Moscow Conservatory under Abram Yampolsky and Lev Tseitlin. As a teenager, Boris Goldstein was singled out by Heifetz as being Soviet Union's most brilliant violin talent. His brother was the violinist and composer Mikhail Goldstein.
